GX-3R Gas Detector

The GX-3R, weighing just 3.52 ounces and measuring 2.2" W x 2.55" H x 1.02" D, is the world's smallest 4-gas monitor. It can be conveniently clipped within a worker's breathing zone and simultaneously monitors and displays LEL combustibles, O2, CO (with hydrogen-compensated CO available), and H2S.

This device represents a cutting-edge advancement in gas detection technology, featuring a new generation of micro sensors. The LEL sensor is uniquely designed with two active filaments, enhancing its resistance to silicone poisoning; if one filament becomes poisoned, the second one takes over. The new O2 sensor is electrochemical with a 3 to 5-year lifespan, and H2S and CO are now available in a combo micro sensor.

For added safety, the GX-3R includes a non-compliance indicator that flashes its 3 LED lights every 30 seconds under specific conditions: if the instrument hasn't been bump tested, if calibration is due, or if there was a gas alarm event. The 30-second interval is adjustable, and the LEDs continue to flash until the non-compliance condition is resolved.

Benefits:

Compact and Lightweight: The GX-3R weighs only 3.52 ounces and has a small size (2.2” W x 2.55” H x 1.02” D), making it comfortable for workers to wear in their breathing zone. This compact design enhances mobility and comfort for the user.

Comprehensive Gas Monitoring: It simultaneously monitors and displays the levels of various gases critical for safety, including LEL combustibles, O2, CO (with hydrogen-compensated CO also available), and H2S. This comprehensive monitoring capability ensures that workers are protected against multiple potential hazards.

Advanced Sensor Technology: The GX-3R employs new-generation micro sensors, offering improved performance and longevity. For instance, the LEL sensor features two active filaments, enhancing resistance to silicone poisoning, and the O2 sensor has a long lifespan of 3 to 5 years.

Non-Compliance Indicator: The instrument is equipped with a non-compliance indicator that flashes 3 LED lights every 30 seconds under specific conditions, such as when the instrument has not been bump tested, calibration is due, or there was a gas alarm event. This feature ensures that safety supervisors can easily identify and address compliance issues, enhancing safety protocols.

Enhanced Worker Safety: By being small enough to clip within a worker's breathing zone, the GX-3R helps ensure that air samples are collected precisely where it matters most—around the worker's nose and mouth. This targeted monitoring enhances worker safety by providing real-time data on potentially harmful gas levels in their immediate environment.

Multi-Gas Monitoring in a Single Device: Unlike traditional single gas monitors, the GX-3R offers the capability to monitor four different gases simultaneously, providing a cost-effective and efficient solution for gas detection needs.

Overall, the GX-3R offers improved safety, convenience, and efficiency in gas monitoring, making it a valuable tool for workers and safety supervisors in various industries where gas exposure poses a risk.
